• How many times have you heard employees complain that they don’t get paid enough, while their bosses drive smart cars and get perks?
• Haven’t we all heard the complaints about company CEO’s receiving large bonuses?
• How about salespeople who complain they don’t get enough commission, or people who whine that they’re not paid what they are worth?

Why do you earn what you earn?

It’s All Relative

A relative of mine complained that she was paid a lousy salary and worked too hard while her bosses drove beamers and worked shorter hours. I asked her,

• “Were you forced to take the job, or did you apply for it and sell yourself at the interview?”
• “And did you agree to the salary you accepted, or were you forced?”
• “Can you resign any time you wish?”
• “If you were capable of doing your boss’s job, and qualified to do it, would you accept the higher salary and perks?
• “Do you think you are paid what you are worth TO the company, instead of what you WANT FROM the company?”
• “Who determines what you are paid, what qualifications you have, and what you are worth to a business? Isn’t it YOU?”
• “Are you free to work wherever you can get a job? Can you choose to start your own business?”
• “If you owned the business, would you pay people more than you had to?”
• “Is the purpose of business to pay employees whatever they want, or to make a profit?
• “What or who limits the amount of money you can earn in a free, capitalist society? Isn’t that YOU?”

The Destruction of Socialism

Karl Marx said:

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

That’s called socialism, redistribution of wealth, collectivism, and communism.

In Cuba, people all earn an average of thirty American dollars a month. Education is free. So doctors choose to work as waiters in hotel restaurants in order to earn more money, and the black market and the underground economy is huge.

Are You Taking Advantage of Your Opportunity as a Capitalist?

Two people join the same Network Marketing business, or the same life insurance company, or start the same kind of business in the same town. One goes bankrupt and blames everybody else. The other one gets rich and take credit for his success.

97% of people fail or achieve mediocre success. 3% soar like eagle, because they have a different philosophy of life.

Why Most People Aren’t Brave Enough to Be JV Brokers

You can start your own Joint Venture Brokerage business with no cost or risk, with no earning limitations, regardless of your qualifications, background, education, age, or circumstances. No more excuses.

Why don’t people jump at the opportunity to do this?

Because suddenly, they would be responsible for the amount of money they earn, and they would be exposed for what they really are.

Business is like a nudist colony; you will be exposed.

And that’s why, when people fail as JV Brokers, they blame me. They conveniently forget that other people with the same opportunities, tools, support, training, and access, are making a lot of money. They can’t deliver on their promises, to they cast blame instead of accepting responsibility. Then they get a job and whine that they’re not being paid enough.

Create More value to make More Money

You get paid in direct proportion to the value you create.

Money is simply a scoreboard. That’s the way it works.

If you’re not making enough money, take responsibility, grow up, and make the necessary changes like an adult.

You have created what you have today, whether you want to accept that or not, and your future will be whatever you choose to create. If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, perhaps it’s time to join the winners who get rich, because they refuse to compromise, quit, or curl up under their beds and whine.

Why Winners Win… and You Can Too!

Winners win because they insist on success, they believe in themselves and their goals, and they take responsibility for their lives. You only get one life, so decide what you want your future to look like. Then take decisive action and persist until you get what you want.

If you receive information, which, if applied, can earn you an unlimited amount of money, what is that information worth?

• The information on the Bootcamps makes David Dubeau $84,000 per month.
• It saved Kumar Ramlal $145,000.
• It allowed Patrick Giesbrecht to retire in seven months with more residual income than he needed to live on.
• It allowed me to retire twice.

It has made people millions of dollars.

Why Even Smart People Object to the Deal of a Lifetime

Would you pay $5,000 once, to be able to earn $10,000 and more per month for the rest of your life? Of course you would.

Let me tell you why certain people balk at the measly $500 we currently charge for a seat at a Bootcamp – two reasons:

1. First, it’s too cheap, so they think the content can’t be worth much. They don’t realize that we make it cheap so that we can reach and help more people.
2. Second, they don’t believe in themselves: they know they’re lazy and weak, and that they never follow through on things they start. Winners know that they always succeed in everything they do.

You Can Apply This & Make Money Too!

A winner will never ask, “How much did YOU make from the Bootcamp?” or, “How much did others make?” Why?

Because winners know that most other people fail most of the time, and they know that they are not most people. They know themselves. They know they always rise to the top. They have a track record. They know how hard working and disciplined they are.

If they evaluate the Bootcamp and believe the information works, they will pay for it and apply it and get rich.

Winners will take action and MAKE it happen, while losers and parasites will pose and procrastinate and analyze and make excuses until they find another seminar to attend.

What’s It Worth to You?

• How much is the security, retirement, peace of mind, self-respect, adventure, freedom, time, and happiness afforded by having enough money worth to you?
• What would you pay to be able to live your dreams, help others financially, travel to exotic places, and be free of fear and stress?

You will learn proven, tried and tested technologies and skills that you can use to create wealth anywhere, under any circumstances, regardless of your background, age, or education, or whether you have a business or not.

What is that worth? Ten thousand, twenty thousand dollars?

You’re learning from people who actually do what they teach.

This is not some seminar by a conman that has you running to the back of the room to buy the “real, meaty stuff” at ridiculously high prices. This is the real thing. Get it while it lasts. Whatever you pay for it, it’s too cheap.

• Do You Want Viral Growth for Your Business?
• How About Viral Wealth?

An epidemic, a pandemic – Mexican Swine Flu, Facebook, Twitter – have you considered that all viral growth is based on piggybacking, on Host/Parasite relationships, and on leverage? This is the natural way of fast growth.

Maintaining Potency

Drop some food coloring into a glass of water and stir it – it spreads, but it gets diluted. However, when properly created, viral growth retains the strength of the seed. You can grow your business and create viral wealth fast through Joint Ventures.

Creating Viral Wealth Fast Through Joint Ventures

When you realize that you can use existing resources, distribution systems, and relationships upon which to piggyback your business and wealth, all barriers in respect of time, cost, and risk fall away.

The Mexican Swine Flu uses people, airplanes, subways, and all manner of means to spread and grow. Use this model.

Are you Operating Like a Solider or a General?

Most entrepreneurs are like soldiers – they carry heavy packs and guns, slide around in mud, get shot, go without sleep and food, and are continually at risk.

Joint Venture experts are like generals – they sip tea in comfort while their batman polishes their boots. They use strategy, leverage, delegation, and their brains. They are like chess players.

Real Joint Venture Brokers:

• Don’t spend money, except in return for results.
• Seldom take risks or spend a lot of time making money.
• Focus on relationships, deals, leverage, strategy, and profit.
• Are not egotistically involved in their business – they are objective and rational. They are like Poker players.

You are not your business!

Your business is merely a vehicle for creating profit, not an extension of your body or personality. You are not your business. When you get your ego out of the way, all sorts of options magically arise.

What You Need is Leverage

Every resource you need is easily and freely available through Joint Ventures. You don’t need salespeople, expensive and risky advertising, or so called “Consultants” and “Coaches”. What you need is the understanding of leverage.

• A franchisee is someone who has bought a job and answers to a boss (the franchiser.)
• A Network Marketer has all his eggs in one basket – the company.
• Most entrepreneurs are really just self-employed salespeople. All sell their time like paid slaves, take risks, and limit their income potential by the nature of their business.
• Joint Venture Brokers create multiple sources of residual income in multiple industries with no selling, cost, limitations, risk, or overhead, and little time.

If you own a small business, realize five things:

1. It’s all about PROFIT, not sales, ego, that shiny, leased car, or reputation.
2. You should only pay for RESULTS, not promises, work, activity, show, and obligation.
3. You don’t need to buy and rent stuff that you can borrow.
4. You can use OTHER PEOPLE’S resources, money, credit, reputation, employees, premises, tools, equipment, distribution, sales teams, time, experience, and skills.
5. The real profit is in the BACK END, your DATABASE, and your MIND.

You have to get in the Pool if You Want to Swim

I agree with Ben Franklin, who said:

“Empty your purse into your mind, and your mind will fill your purse.”

What he left out, though, was WORK.

Initially, to learn how to use Joint Ventures to grow virally and create viral wealth, you have to pay to for the training and support, but you also have to work and practice; you don’t learn to swim while sitting in a seat at a seminar or reading a book.

Most “seminar junkies” are losers who are trying to hide from reality and accountability. You have to get in the water to learn how to swim, and it takes time to learn a new skill set. But once you get it, you will never look back.

Advice from Those Who Walk Their Talk

The key here is to learn from people who actually practice what they preach.

• If I spent a fortune on advertising, could I teach you how to grow a real, international business that makes real money with no cost or risk? I think not.
• If I employed people, could I teach you how to run a lucrative JV brokerage with no overhead? No.

Don’t take advice from anyone who doesn’t already have what you want, and never take advice from people who are more screwed up than you are.

DollarMakers is the world leader in Joint Venture training and support for individuals, professionals, and the owners of small and medium-sized businesses. We have a 22-year track record. We walk our talk. We fire Members who don’t abide by our Code of Business Ethics. We grow our own business virally and create viral wealth, and so can you.

Is what you’re doing now really going to make you rich? Will it truly give you the time, freedom,  and money you want? One always has options –

• you could work for a boss and never get wealthy, have all your eggs in a basket held by a skittish sociopath,
• or spend your life’s (or wife’s) savings on a franchise that will prove to be the toughest job you ever had with the lowest return on investment,
• or you can sell your time, as most self-employed, broke salespeople do,
• …or you can get smart.

Here’s why becoming a Joint Venture Broker is, in my estimation, the most lucrative, safe, and fun thing you can do. I’ll save the best till last.

#1 – Unlimited Flexibility and Creativity

First, the nature of the beast is creativity. Joint Ventures that are set up with the right people, and with no cost or risk, allow you unlimited flexibility and creativity. Oliver Wendell Holmes said:

“A mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

Anyone who truly understands JV’s (perhaps 1% of entrepreneurs) knows that it doesn’t get better than this.

#2 -Joint Ventures are Recession Proof

Second, opportunities for Joint Ventures abound in this recession. Someone said:

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Right now, people are more open to JV’s than ever before.

#3 -Dynamic, Lucrative Deals

Third, true Joint Ventures are dynamic, synergistic, interchangeable, and malleable. They can mutate into different and more lucrative forms, and one can swap, trade, and reinvent them as one goes along. They’re like a virtual, giant Mecano set on steroids. Ross Perot said:

“Life is like a cobweb, not an organization chart.”

That applies to JV‘s as well.

#4 -Create Real Win/Wins

Fourth, reciprocation is the name of the game – the ultimate and real win/win/win. Booker T. Washington said:

“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else,”

and Mom Mabley said:

“Life is like a game of poker: If you don’t put any in the pot, there won’t be any to take out.”

I recently had a woman call me (I thought it was Winston on the line, so I foolishly answered the phone) and it was like listening to a machine gun. She was such an arrogant, hard sell that I felt quite bilious when I put the phone down. She has no idea what reciprocation is. It reminded me of the saying, “I haven’t spoken to my wife in four months; she doesn’t like to be interrupted.”

#5 – Maximum Freedom and Flexibility

Fifth, Joint Ventures offer the maximum freedom and flexibility.

• Work anywhere,
• with anyone,
• any time,
• in any industry,
• with any products or services,
• with no cost, risk, or limitations.

With the Internet and social networking the way it is, JV Brokers can play the field with gay abandon.

#6 – Unlimited Opportunity

And Sixth, unlimited opportunity. Joint Venture Brokers can happily sow massively, since it takes little time, and they can remove the cost and risk from their businesses. Danny Kaye announced:

“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.”

#7 -Answer Only to Yourself

OK, and here’s the best part of all: Joint Venture Brokers answer to no one but themselves and their JV partners, and they can pick and choose whom they work with. They truly control their own lives and destinies, and they tale personal responsibility for their own success.

Suddenly, your past, your age, your education, resume, ex-wife, the weather, the government, and where you live DON’T MATTER. You can rise like the phoenix from the flames of mediocrity, fear, frustration, and limitation, and fly as high as you like.

Knowledge and skills will always come to your rescue.

In a recession, when advertisers are scratching at the door and losing business hand over fist, you can set up a lucrative Joint Venture with them, as well as with your Joint Venture partners.

Advertisers have space to sell, and it’s a perishable commodity; if it’s not sold, it’s lost forever, whether it’s space ads in magazines, newspapers, or billboards, or whether it’s radio or TV time or banner ads on websites or e-zines.

How to Set Up the Deal with the Advertiser

You simply offer to pay them for RESULTS, not promises. It’s called Contingency Advertising.

It doesn’t cost the advertiser anything, since he or she already has the space, and you only pay for converted leads / sales made. Any set-up fee, artwork, or other incidentals will naturally have to be paid for, but it’s a fraction of the cost of the advertising itself.

This way, even if there are no initial sales, you get great exposure and branding, and, when the advertiser sees this concept working, he will never run open space again.

Only EVER Pay for Results

We have done this for more than twenty years in every conceivable kind of media for ourselves and our clients, and it really is “no money, no risk” – it‘s a win/win.

I never pay salaries or for advertising – I pay generously for results, so I’m not easily disappointed by big promises and BS.

Do the Math and Propose it Like This

First ask the advertiser if he believes advertising with him will make sales.  Of course he will say “Yes” and if he doesn’t, it’s easy to show him the door.

When he says “Yes”, propose something like this: If you pay an average of $100 per sale and a $2,000 advertisement generates 40 sales, the advertiser doubles his money.

Ad responses can go via the advertiser for tracking and spot-checking purposes.

Joint Venture Brokers can triangulate this system to earn residual income from other people’s businesses.

Too many people make Joint Ventures too complicated. They “feel overwhelmed” and “don’t know where to start”, when it’s really as simple as ABC.

When you respond to a need and make a referral, which you do every day, simply monetize the transaction and build in residual income wherever possible. And in many cases, the reciprocal value doesn’t have to be money – you can trade anything, as long as the one making the money reciprocates!

Here is an example of a JV:

We all have tons of books, CD’s, educational programs that we paid too much for at overpriced seminars, DVD’s, and audio programs at home, most of which we will never look at again, if we ever did in the first place. Yet we continue to buy new stuff.

How about twenty friends decided to have a little swap meet, get together for pizza, and swap their CD’s., etc? Everyone would get excellent value, at no cost!

Here’s another example:

Marketing is usually confused with selling. Using attraction marketing is a very powerful and effective way to get more customers. Instead of selling stuff, give stuff away! Especially when it doesn’t cost you anything!

Joint Venture with people who want to get their products and services into the market place by giving away their Gift Certificates for courses, consultations, cleanings, evaluations, samples, reports, conference calls, etc., and everyone wins.

Yet another example:

I was in England last week, and a good friend’s wife is very connected in Africa. I thought of another friend of mine in Canada who can almost certainly do business with her, so I e-mailed him to ask exactly what commissions I would receive if I connected him with my African connection. If I like the commission structure, I will send ONE e-mail to make the connection, sit back, and wait for a check. It’s that easy.

One more example:

JV’s can be TRIANGULATED: Those are the best, easiest, and most lucrative. Connect Tom and Peter, and collect an ongoing commission on any business they ever do, as with my African connection illustration above.

I had a fellow distribute someone else’s complimentary report to his database, and it earned me ten thousand dollars.

• Total time invested: 30 minutes.
• Risk: none.
• Cost: nothing.

Be Creative!

You can trade anything in JV’s – people have traded my JV Broker Bootcamp tickets for beef, pots and pans, advertising, hotel rooms, you name it. You can be as creative as you like!

One caveat here:

You should only do business and set up Joint Ventures with good people whom you know, like and trust, or have been referred to you by trusted friends, hence the DollarMakers Joint Venture Club.

Online “JV’s” with anonymous people can hurt you and your reputation more than you can imagine.

With the right training, access, and support, anyone can make money and even retire through the power of Joint Ventures. I have; twice.

• What is it that dilutes, undermines, and sabotages one’s success as a Joint Venture Broker?
• What subtle poison will attenuate, enfeeble, and warp your progress?

The malignant venom that is so popular in our compromised and weak society that is corrupted by politically correct, creeping collectivism is so pervasive as to be almost invisible; we don’t see the proverbial wood for the trees.

Ayn Rand declared:

“I can accept anything, except what seems to be the easiest for most people: the half-way, the almost, the just-about, the in-between.”

She saw that mediocrity is the poison to avoid if one wants to reach the summit of success. The majority chooses the colorless, humdrum existence over real success.

The Poison of “Part Time”

The first question I am asked by those who would aspire to become Joint Venture Brokers is, “Can I do this part time?” This is a world in which we celebrate the undistinguished, unexceptional, unremarkable, and unrepentant pursuit of concession, comfort, and corruption.

“Don’t work too hard” – “Don’t be a fanatic” – “Don’t pressure me” – “Don’t be so idealistic” – DON’T SUCCEED.

Don’t become a threat to the seething herd of sheeple.

Only Dead Fish Go with the Current

The tall trees catch the wind. The nail that stands up gets hammered down. If you’re successful, you become a mirror in which the losers see their own miserable faces, and they have to break the mirror and attack your virtue. You cannot allow their fear to stop you. Ayn Rand said:

“Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.”

Eagles don’t flock. Warriors don’t flinch. And winners don’t forsake their goals or forfeit their dreams.

Real Men…

Real men don’t sacrifice their values or surrender. They don’t desert and they don’t decamp – they attack and they demand success.

The insidious poison of popularity and insecurity will steal your success as surely as the sun will rise.

Think of champions like Patton, Thatcher, Churchill, Rand, Hitchens, and the like; they never hesitated to do what they believed in and they never left a back door open. General Patton said:

“Don’t Delay: The best is the enemy of the good.  By this I mean that a good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan next week.

War is a very simple thing, and the determining characteristics are self-confidence, speed, and audacity. None of these things can ever be perfect, but they can be good.”

Become a Fearless Fanatic

Full time, full throttle, total commitment, no compromise, whatever-it-takes, 24/7/365 is the mark of a winner. Scrape the opinions of the masses off the bottom of your shoe and courageously force your way through every barrier on your way to realizing your magnificent obsession. By all means, become a fearless fanatic; you’ll be in good company.

We all have agendas, however some people have hidden agendas that need to be guarded against to avoid loss of reputation, customers, business, orders, suppliers, or other resources and assets.

Those with hidden agendas will usually agree to everything, and be very friendly and accommodating on the surface, while executing their secret plans under the table. These affable, helpful people use their promises to put one off guard.

The Key is to Limit Access

The way to avoid losing too much to these thieves is to limit their access, control, and exposure as much as possible while testing their loyalty and agendas. This is not cynicism, but rather skepticism.

Hypocrisy Runs Rampant

After 22 years in business, I never cease to be surprised at how well people can hide who they really are. Many are passive aggressive, and when they finally openly turn against you, they are usually very nasty. Those who claim to be “spiritual” and religious have been the worst I have encountered over 22 years – they hide behind a veil of hypocrisy to subdue any suspicions you might have – “wolves in sheep’s’ clothing”, as it were.

11 Tips to Prevent Your Loss from Others’ Agendas

1. Expect the best, but plan for the worst.
2. Have exit plans, contracts, a “Plan B”, and damage control in place before getting involved with new people, if at all possible, especially those who you get that “gut feel” about.
3. Look for patterns and consider reading “The Art of War” sections on spies.
4. At all times, seek leverage and control, but don’t expose your suspicions.
5. Always endeavor to be one step ahead of them, and don’t hesitate to use private detectives if necessary.
6. Protect your relationships and database.
7. Put yourself into communication loops.
8. Consider the worst case scenarios.
9. Don’t bank on the promises of any one person.
10. Also, find out who the real decision maker is, and who the “front man” is.

… And, Of Course, Use Joint Ventures

This is why I use Joint Ventures to make money – I limit my risk, spread my income, and always have many options available. I do as much due diligence as possible on my JV partners and those I am involved with, and while I still get attacked and people still try to steal from me, my risk is limited. Conventional businesses have a lot more to lose from spies and saboteurs than I do as a Joint Venture Broker.

A Healthy, Objective Attitude Will Serve You Well

A healthy dose of suspicion is always a good thing, and warning signs are often there if you remain objective. Once you get emotionally involved, greed and desperation will blind you to what is really going on. Remain, as the Buddha teaches, “Unattached”, hedge your bets, and don’t expect things to last forever.

A mature view of business and life, and access to good mentors will help you to remain strong and rational. Try to see things through the eyes of others, seek to understand their motives, and ask lots of questions.
